The problem is rather that Openmanage reports this as a non-critical
error. This is again interpreted by monitoring software such as Nagios
plugins, and annoys the sysadmin. Different Nagios plugins deal with
this in their own unique way. Here's one approach:

The recharge cycle should just do its thing in silence. If something
goes wrong during the learning or recharge states, it should be
reported by Openmanage.
